The Promise of Energy Savings

It's a light bulb that can stay turned-on 24
hours a day, 365 days a year, it will last for years... and unlike any other
light bulb in existence, it's likely that the electricity required to operate
this bulb for its entire life will cost you less than the price of the bulb
itself. This is the promise of LED light bulbs that run on normal household
current.

Whether the interest is in "saving the
planet" or just saving a few dollars on the household budget, LED bulbs are
rapidly growing in popularity.

Why LEDs Are Different From Other Light Bulbs

In order to understand what makes LEDs
different from other light bulbs, it is necessary to have a general idea of how
other light bulb technologies work, primarily incandescent bulbs and CFL bulbs.

Incandescent Bulbs

Incandescents
are the traditional light bulbs popularized by Thomas Edison. They create light
by forcing electricity through a tiny tungsten coil. The coil, or filament,
resists the electricity, and the resistance creates both light and heat.
Eventually, the filament burns out. Because much of the electricity these bulbs
use is turned into heat rather than visible light, they are very inefficient.
Incandescents are being phased out because they use much more electricity than
newer technologies.

Fluorescent Lights and CFLs

Fluorescent lights are tubes filled with fluorine gas. They have no
filament. Instead, they pass electricity through the gas, causing the glass
itself to glow. Fluorescent lights produce much less heat, so they use much less
electricity than incandescent bulbs, and they last much longer. The downside is
that their light is naturally slightly bluish and they tend to flicker. Older
designs also contain mercury, which is toxic. Compact fluorescent lights, or
CFLs, are designed to fit into light fixtures originally intended to take
incandescents. Many also have filters to make their light appear yellower. Some
newer CFLs do not contain mercury.

LEDs

LEDs are more durable than either of the older technologies (they are not
made of glass and will not shatter if dropped), and they are more
energy-efficient. They do not contain hazardous materials. LEDs, like CFLs, are
also relatively cool and will not heat up the room the way incandescents do.
While it is true they cost much more than either CFLs or incandescents, their
long lifespans change the way consumers buy bulbs. Traditional incandescentbulbs were supplies like paper towels or soap, something that had to be
bought regularly. LEDs can last as long as somelampsdo, depending on how much they are used. Therefore, the initial
investment lasts a purchaser much longer than other bulbs.

While it is true
that some people prefer the colour of incandescent lights, in most ways LEDs
outperform incandescents and even CFLs. To compare the efficiency of LED bulbs
to other bulbs, look at the lumens to watts ratio. Lumens measure light
intensity and watts measure electrical usage, so the higher the ratio, the more
light any given bulb gives off for the same amount of electricity. The
difference between LEDs and other bulbs is dramatic.

Comparing LEDs, CFLs, and Incandescent Lights

This table shows the wattage, lumen to watt ratio, and expected life-span
(assuming the bulb is used for eight hours every day) for three bulbs each
capable of putting out roughly 1700 lumens. This is the brightness of a 100 watt
incandescent bulb, or an ordinary living room lamp. The three bulbs are an
incandescent, a CFL, and an LED. Notes on each technology type are also
included.

Research shows that many bulbs are used fewer than eight hours a day; an LED
that is used less often could last over 20 years.
